Mr Monkey visits the Museum in Docklands, 16th May

"This looks like it's going to be good"

Mr Monkey scampered into the museum, which lives inside No. 1 Warehouse in the West India Docks. There were nine of these warehouses, which stored coffee, sugar and rum, but Nos. 3 to 9 were destroyed in the Blitz. After buying his ticket he took the lift up to Level 3, which is where the permament exhibition begins. The first thing he saw was a large map showing the extent of the domain of the Port of London Authority, all the down the Thames from Tower Bridge and several miles out to sea.
